And you thought that the San Jose Sharks were a changed team. Chuck Fletcher really let fly this offseason, trading everyone within a fifty-mile radius and some for even draft picks.
We're not knocking his style but it's a lot of change in such a short amount of time. We can only hope for Wild fans that this is a good strategy.
Gone is Brent Burns. Gone is Andrew Brunette. Gone is Martin Havlat. Gone is James Sheppard. Gone is Todd Richards.
In is Dany Heatley. In is Devin Setoguchi. In is draft picks. In is Mike Yeo.
We are extremely intrigued to see Yeo in the hot seat now as the Wild coach. It's going to be interesting to see what he can do as a head coach.
This is a team that's being built for now and for scoring. Finally. We've always wondered what the Wild would need to become a scoring team. It might be fun watching them this season.

The Wild aren't terribly ugly or unfortunate looking but they are not beauty queens by any stretch of the imagination.
We gave a point for Stoner, another for Kyle 'Hot' Brodziak, another point for Nick Schultz and the last two points for how awesome Mikko Koivu is and if he was on a team that got any national recognition then he would be at every All Star game.

Oh look! It's me again commenting on former Canes players that have moved on to other teams. Matt Cullen is hot. His team pics always suck but he is not hard on the eyes at all.

TURDBURGLER ALERT.
Turd. Burgler.
Blech.
You think Cully is a turdburgler? I was not sure whom you were alerting on!
Heatly is horrid!
@ Esbee - I think MouthGuard is talking about Heatly.
@Grace - Indeed!
@AussieGal - You're much too polite.
@Esbee - Pay me no mind. It's just my tourette's. Although you should heed my warnings because ultimately my outbursts come to pass. Think Homer Simpson meets Homer the classic Greek author. Behold - the silly prophecy...
@mouthguard....tourettes duly noted. Had to make sure I didn't need to engage in fisticuffs over Cully.
And Heatley IS a turdburgler.
Thank you Minnesota Wild for beastin' on the last day of the season and for giving us Brunette. WOOO!
Love your hair hope you score,

I found your blog while Googling the Minnesota Wild logo, sitting here watching the Anaheim/Minnesota game. Due to blackout restrictions we can't watch our local hockey team so we're rooting for our backup team for now 'cuz Minnesota took my Setoguchi. (Let's not talk about how much I spent on my Seto jersey the last couple of years.)
